The return of Michael Essien to Chelsea’s starting eleven was an opportunity for celebration after the Ghanaian finally completed his rehabilitation after tearing his medial ligament prior to the Africa Cup of Nations in January.

But there was one youngster who was not so happy with Essien. Prior to kick off Essien was going through a normal pre-match warm-up when he tried his luck on target with a shot. Missing the target, Essien’s shot whacked into a young Crystal Palace fan behind the goal, leaving the kid in tears.
